Vortex Gaming

· In Core Keeper, livestock farming is crucial for obtaining core resources like milk, wool, eggs, and Strolly Polly Plates.
· These resources are essential for crafting higher-tier equipment, such as the Scarlet set, and increasing cooking efficiency.
· Starting a livestock farm correctly from the early game allows you to quickly acquire powerful items.
· Basic tools for livestock farming can be crafted at the 'Livestock Workbench'.

Tool	Purpose
Feeder	Stores and provides food for livestock
Halter	Moves livestock short distances within the base
Livestock Carrier	Key tool for capturing livestock and transporting them to the base
Critter Trap	Automatically produces insects (for food)

· Moolin and Bambuck are found in the 'Meadows' biome.
· Meadows are usually easy to find near the center of the world, specifically near the starting point, the Dirt Biome.
· Once livestock disappear, they do not respawn in that biome, so caution is needed when capturing.
· If livestock are depleted, you can use a strategy of creating a new world, capturing livestock, and then bringing them back to your main world.
· In new worlds, Meadows often generate diagonally about 60 blocks away from the spawn point.
· You can easily capture livestock by right-clicking them with a 'Livestock Carrier'.

· Create a safe pen for your livestock using Fences and a Fence Gate.
· Install a 'Feeder' in the center of the pen so livestock can always eat.
· Right-click the captured Livestock Carrier inside the pen to release the livestock.
· If livestock escape the pen or are placed in the wrong pen, you can use a 'Halter' to move them to the desired location.
· Right-click the livestock with the Halter to connect it, move to the desired location, and then right-click again to release the Halter.

· Strolly Polly are primarily found in 'Stone Biomes'.
· They are especially easy to find near the fast travel point of 'Malogas the Corrupted'.
· Strolly Polly can die if attacked, so you must protect them from hostile monsters and capture them quickly.
· Dodos are found in 'Azios's Wilderness'.
· If you find floating eggs on the ground, there's a high chance Dodos are nearby.

· Livestock need to consume a certain amount of food to breed and produce resources.
· Moolin and Bambuck eat 'Bloat Oat', which can be obtained from 'Bloat Oat Seeds'.
· You can easily multiply Bloat Oat Seeds using a Seed Extractor.
· Strolly Polly and Dodos eat 'insects'.
· Here's how to get insects:

Method	Details
Bug Net	The most basic tool for manually catching insects
Cryalis Floor	When installed in your base, insects are automatically generated over time
Critter Trap	If you put leftover crops in it, it automatically produces insects and sends them to a chest

· Resources produced by livestock, such as wool, milk, eggs, and Strolly Polly Plates, can be efficiently collected by placing chests near the farm to automatically gather them.
· Place cooking and crafting stations close to the farm to maximize resource utilization.
